    We stayed in the room in the main building and you can hear the noises from the kitchen and main area but it did not bother us too much.

    This is a hidden gem. We were not lucky with the weather when we arrived there - but we wished we could stay longer. The place is well hidden in the forest and you can fully immerse yourself in the relaxation. The views at the sunrise and the sunset are amazing and also you can watch the birds directly from the shower. The breakfast was delicious as well as the dinner.

    Very special location in deep forest surrounding environment. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Great outdoor deck for breakfast with very friendly staff. Limited but flexible menu (just ask). Monkeys & a few good bird visitors came by. Very quiet and personal.

    The private lane down to the property (along the edge of the bird sanctuary) was in poor state. Would be challenging in wet conditions.

    Stunning location, beautiful property and staff brilliant. Special shout out to Carol and Welcome who were so helpful and friendly. The entrance to the property is beside Birds of Eden and the Monkey sanctuary, both of which are well worth visiting.

    It is one of the more relatively expensive accommodations (value for money) but it is worth it

    Very special place in the forest as stop on your garden route roadtrip. Location is great - between plett & Tsitsikama nature reserve. We upgraded the honeymoon suite which was very special - full glass cabin surrounded by trees. You have to be lucky with the weather though, we gladly had some sun. The staff turns on the fireplace in the room for extra warmth during the night. The diner was incredibly good and also the breakfast was really nice.

    With the location comes a bit of a difficult drive around the monkey reserve (very well explained btw) and you get to see monkeys.

    What a location! Everything is exceptional, the staff, the location (ever seen a swimming pool suspended in a tree house?), the food, the experience. Showering looking at into the jungle, just wow.

    The location in the forest is very unique and it felt like being on a treehouse. We had an amazing time and excellent dinner on the sundeck with a fantastic view (monkeys in the forest). This is the place to relax.

    The location is in the middle of the jungle. The breakfast and dinner area are centrally located and can be accessed easily from every room. The rooms are spacious and have a separate bowl bathroom however, without a full door in our case. The staff was super helpful and very kind. We had booked dinner for one of our nights there, and it was delicious and filling. One thing to mention on arrival as there are other reviews here: driving to the location is easy, safe and without worries. For the last couple hundred meters it is a gravel road which can be managed by any and every car. Would come again!

    The horrible road driving up to the hotel and the bad WiFi. We were also disappointed by the breakfast which was exactly the same every morning. We would’ve liked some different kinds of bread and some cheeses/meat.

    Beautiful property nicely decorated. Nice deck with pool where you can have dinner and breakfast outside if the weather is good. Good sized room. Possibility to have dinner in the hotel which we absolutely recommend, we did this 2 of our 3 nights and had 2 very good dinners! What made our stay extra nice is the amazing staff. Everyone was very friendly and very attentive.
